Representational systems

Representational systems are the ways our minds encode and process information from the world, primarily through our senses and language. They include visual (images and sights), auditory (sounds and spoken words), kinesthetic (touch and physical sensation), olfactory (smell), and gustatory (taste). These systems influence how we perceive, think, and communicate. For example, some people remember information best by visualizing images, while others rely on sounds or physical sensations. Understanding these systems helps in effective communication, learning, and personal development by aligning methods with how individuals naturally process information.
